The most evocative car races in history were when racecars competed on public roads. Monaco. Le Mans. The Carrera Panamericana. Those all featured wimpy sports racers, though. What happens when you put a Nascar on public streets?

Well, reader Igor witnessed Kyle Busch in his TRD Camry in downtown Rochester, NY just this morning. So what did Igor see?
